And the summer of our discontent continues ...

The marine layer has dissipated along the county's entire coastline. But lcouds are expected to reform tonight, extending the 'June' gloom closer to August, says the National Weather Service. The latest satellite photo shows bands of clouds just west of Point Loma, Carlsbad and Oceanside. Local temperatures also are running 5-10 degrees below normal.

"Low clouds will linger at the beaches each afternoon the next few days," the weather service says. "Mid-level clouds from monsoon flow will continue to drift into Southern California. A stronger monsoon surge Tuesday will bring better chances for showers and thunderstorms over the mountains and deserts. It will turn warmed toward the end of the week as high pressure increases."
